Do I need to notify anyone?

Ooooh duncan, that's baaaad news. Just getting over mine (never again will I try to push a Class VII on my own.

You don't have to notify anyone. Hope it's your left one, you may just be able to drive an auto if so.

Ask for a 'Vacoped' boot rather than plaster. Good luck, 8-ish weeks with that and crutches, and then lots of physio etc.
